Surround Sound Installation

Surround Sound refers to the use of multiple audio tracks to envelop the movie watching or music listening audience, making them feel like they're in the middle of the action or concert.

High powered, multi-speakered sound systems have been mandatory in this market for years, but Lexus recently raised the stakes by offering, as an option, a system with indisputable high-end credentials.

Like stereophonic sound, the original Dolby Stereo had three front channels and a surround-sound channel. But instead of using magnetic tracks, it reverted back to the superior optical track technology to allow for clearer sound playback. Dolby stereo also used an advanced noise-reduction process, which improved sound quality further. The real innovation of Dolby Stereo is how so much audio information is squeezed into a small space on the film. When Dolby engineers started working on the new format, they figured out they would only be able to fit two optical tracks in the available space.

True surround sound formats rely on dedicated speakers that literally and physically surround the audience.  There is one center speaker which carries most of the dialog, and part of the soundtrack.  There are left and right front speakers that carry most of the soundtrack, and may carry parts of the dialog.

A high performance, five inputs Surround Sound Processor designed to provide up to eight channels of surround sound for pro A/V applications in corporate and commercial environments. The included control software offers a user-friendly GUI for setup and operation.

The surround sound movie soundtrack allows the audience to hear sounds coming from all around them, and plays a large part in realizing what movie makers call suspended disbelief. Suspended disbelief is when the audience is completely captivated by the movie experience and is no longer aware of their real-world surroundings.
